At night, as usual, Zhang Wencheng and the mermaid hugged each other and fell asleep. The mermaid hummed a song, and Zhang Wencheng soon fell asleep with the singing until dawn.
This has become a habit for him, or a kind of happiness.
But after returning home that night, he remembered the old man's words, so out of curiosity, he took out one of the charms and pressed it under his pillow.
He wondered why he fell asleep so deeply every time he sang in Mermaid? What is the magic of this song?
He also wanted to test it out. Is this spell given by the Taoist really so magical that it can keep him awake by pressing it under his pillow?
As a result, after the mermaid started singing, he fell asleep again, but he was not completely asleep. He seemed to be asleep but not asleep, and seemed to be awake but not awake.
Sure enough, pressing this talisman under his pillow could keep him awake.
In a daze, he felt the mermaid next to him get out of bed and walk out of the bedroom. He didn't know why she was there?
It wasn't until dawn that the mermaid returned to the bed and lay beside him.
Zhang Wencheng felt strange. Did the mermaid leave every night after he fell asleep listening to the singing?
Where did she go? What were you doing? If I hadn't pressed a talisman under my pillow today to keep myself awake, I wouldn't have known it.
So the next night he decided to crush the talisman and swallow it directly as the old man said, so that he could stay awake completely and still move normally.
He wants to see what the mermaid is doing at night? Could it be that she went to harm others after he fell asleep? Were those more than ten of his friends really harmed by her?
At night, the mermaid started singing again. Sure enough, the talisman paper worked. Zhang Wencheng did not feel sleepy at all and stayed awake. However, in order not to let the mermaid find out, he deliberately pretended to be drowsy.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep, the mermaid got out of bed again and walked out.
Zhang Wencheng immediately opened his eyes and followed quietly.
The mermaid walked to another bedroom. The door of the bedroom was ajar. Zhang Wencheng quietly leaned over and peeked through the crack in the door. He almost fainted from the fright.
The mermaid actually took a saw and cut herself in half, the fish tail below the waist and the human body above the waist.
But the strange thing is that although it was sawed open, there was no blood and the mermaid did not die.
The scene was horrifying.
And what’s even more terrifying is yet to come.
The lower half of the mermaid's tail remained on the bed, but her upper body jumped out of the bedroom, out of the living room, and then out of the house.
Ran.
Zhang Wencheng endured great fear and continued to follow.
Although only her upper body was left, the mermaid walked very fast.
Fortunately, it was late at night and there were almost no people on the street. If others saw a woman with only the upper body jumping up and down on the street in the middle of the night, they would be scared to death.
Zhang Wencheng's legs were trembling. He followed the mermaid through several streets, and after more than an hour, he arrived at a mass grave in the suburbs.
It's already scary enough, but now it's a mass grave.
Even more eerie.
The mass grave was completely silent, shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and there seemed to be dark shadows looming inside, and from time to time a few crows could be heard.
The mermaid jumped into the mass grave.
Zhang Wencheng flinched a little and wanted to go back because he was too scared, but he was also very curious.
In the middle of the night, the mermaid sawed off her snake's tail, leaving only her upper body. What on earth did she want to do after traveling such a long way to the mass grave?
He suddenly began to believe what the old man said, maybe this mermaid was a demon.
He bravely walked into the mass grave.
Finally he saw the mermaid stop in front of one of the graves in the mass grave, and then she started singing again, but this song was different from before, it was a bit sad and scary.
Following the singing, a human-shaped black shadow gathered from all directions, surrounded the mermaid, and worshiped her.
At this time, no matter how stupid Zhang Wencheng was, he understood.
These black figures are not people at all, but ghosts.
Mass graves belong to the most shady places, where these dirty things gather.
The mermaid began to speak.
"That boy named Zhang was almost taken advantage of by me. Almost all his friends were turned into mummies by me. He was next. But that boy was very kind and gentle to me. I was really reluctant to let him go. "
Zhang Wencheng shivered.
The mermaid then said: "How are you doing with your affairs? Come here and let me absorb your Yin Qi, so that I can increase my power."
The black shadows gathered in front of the mermaid one after another. The mermaid opened her mouth wide and sucked in all the black shadows.
After a while, all those dark shadows disappeared. The mermaid seemed to have had a full meal and licked her lips with great satisfaction.
"Okay, I should go back before dawn, lest that kid wakes up and discovers my secret, but don't worry, that kid can only live for one more day at most. I will absorb his yang energy and essence and transform him into a new one." Become a mummy."
Saying that she is a perfect mermaid, she jumped towards the outside of the mass grave.
Zhang Wencheng turned around and ran out in a hurry. Maybe he was too nervous. After running a few steps, he tripped over something under his feet and fell to the ground with a thud.
The noise alarmed the mermaid.
The mermaid was stunned and looked straight at Zhang Wencheng.
"Who's there?" she shouted loudly.
Zhang Wencheng hurriedly got up from the ground and ran away.
What does the mermaid seem to have guessed? Speed up and chase him.
"Don't run, I saw you, I know it's you."
Suddenly the mermaid's laughter came from behind.
"I originally wanted you to live one more day, but I didn't expect you to follow me and find out my secret. In this case, I can't spare you. Do you think you can run away?"
The mermaid waved her hand, and a demonic wind blew by, and then many black figures poured out from all directions, instantly surrounding Zhang Wencheng.
Zhang Wencheng was so frightened that he fell to the ground, gasping for air.
Those black figures bared their teeth and claws, and gathered towards him one by one.
"No, don't kill me, don't kill me."
The mermaid jumped over.
Zhang Wencheng looked at her in horror.
"You, who are you? You are not a mermaid at all, you are a demon."
The mermaid smiled seductively.
"You only know now. Don't you think it's too late? You have been confused by me for so long, and you suddenly woke up unexpectedly. But this is not a good thing. You are looking for death."
"Those friends of mine were all harmed by you, right?"
"Yes." The mermaid readily admitted.
"I turned them into mummies. In order to improve my own strength, I can only do this."
"You, you damn monster."
"Don't worry, you will soon become a mummy like them, hahahaha..."
The mermaid smiled and stretched out her big hands. Her fingernails suddenly became very long and sharp.
The nails pierced Zhang Wencheng's head bit by bit.
Zhang Wencheng was so frightened that he knew he would not survive.
Just when he closed his eyes and waited for death, he suddenly remembered another talisman given by the old Taoist, which he said could save his life. So he took the talisman out of his pocket as quickly as possible and slapped it on the On his own forehead.
The mermaid's sharp fingers suddenly stopped.
"Where are the people? Why are they missing?" The mermaid shouted loudly, while shouting and looking around.
Those dark figures also began to look for Zhang Wencheng everywhere.
Only then did Zhang Wencheng realize that the old Taoist had not lied to him. After affixing this talisman, these monsters and ghosts could no longer see him, as if he had become invisible.
Seeing them looking for him angrily, Zhang Wencheng was so frightened that he did not dare to express his anger, and squatted there shivering until dawn.
After dawn, everything disappeared, and the mermaid was gone. Only then did he run back home in fear.
It was discovered that the half of the mermaid's tail had also disappeared.
